PARLIAMENT | A proposed emergency motion to debate Deputy Prime Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi's move to reveal Dr Mahathir Mohamad's private data has been rejected.

Speaker Pandikar Amin Mulia in rejecting the motion in chambers, said it was because the matter was being investigated by the authorities.

Pandikar in a letter to Kulai MP Teo Nie Ching, also said that the question of whether Zahid had breached the Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA) should be decided by the judiciary.

On Sunday, Zahid told the Kelana Jaya Umno division annual general meeting that he was in possession of Mahathir's original identity card which bore the name "Mahathir a/l Iskandar Kutty"...
